need help. how to remove the trunk lock?
my trunk lock doesnt work. I would like to take it out, see what's wrong with it. But the problem is that I have to remove those two stuff first(show in the picture). I have no idea how to remove them, they are not screws something.
anyone has any idea? please.
thanks

Something like this:
You can do it with a thin flat screwdriver and patience, although I wouldn't recommend it. Best is to use the above tool (available at crappy tire, princess auto, etc).

+1! They are just clips and should be "easy" to pull out...

chances are you'll be able to re-use the clips. once those are off you'll be able to pull the panel loose. if the clip breaks just take it to bmw and most cases it will be in stock if not they'll order it. Don't worry, they won't ask you to leave your arm for deposit.

try fold down the back seat, get inside the trunk, then use a flat screwdriver to open it

I have many locks available, you can either change the full thing or use it for parts!

Check with Maranello BMW, sometimes items like this are reasonably priced from the dealer. If it's really expensive then at least you'll know how much you're saving by buying used.

Either. If it was my car I'd be buying a complete assembly, if reasonably priced.
